LANCASHIRE unveiled a match-winning leg spinner at Old Trafford yesterday.

And while the name of Chris Schofield still looms large with his industrial tribunal appeal to be settled on Friday, the sight of Simon Marshall bamboozling batsmen gave fans a new name to talk about.

Marshall, 22, is in his first year on the Lancashire staff after three productive seasons at Cambridge University and, with Steven Crook, inspired a superb 73-run win over Warwickshire in a one-day friendly.

Even the vastly experienced Trevor Penney could not handle him, falling lbw for 24, during a spell of 3-8 from Marshall's first four overs.

Marshall finished with 4-24 from seven overs, and would have had five wickets but for a dropped catch on the boundary as Warwickshire tumbled to 131 all out in reply to Lancashire's 202-4.

Lancashire are pinning a lot of faith in their spin department, led by Sri Lankan star Muttiah Muralitharan and left-armer Gary Keedy - last season's player of the year - and featuring Marshall, Brad Hodge and Andrew Crook.

With Penney around, Warwickshire might have made more of a game at it after reaching 93-4. But Marshall had Nick James stumped by Gareth Cross - Warren Hegg's new deputy - and then sent back Penney and Naqqash Tashir to seal it for Lancashire.

But it was not all about spin, as Tom Smith claimed 2-10 from six overs.

Steven Crook had boosted Lancashire earlier with an unbeaten 81. While he slammed three sixes and five fours, he also showed restraint when necessary - ans some was needed with the score at 51-3.

Tim Rees (59) also played a big role, helping Crook to pile on 131 for the fourth wicket.
